On Friday May 10, another Do The 45 rocked Quinn’s in Beacon. Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus joined DJ Pete Pop for another evening of super exciting rock’n’roll, R&B and other assorted reet music. Do The 45 swings on the second Friday of the month. If you live within five hours driving distance, you should make the scene every month!!!

The famous Go-Go dancer Bella Bombora was also on hand and at various times she had folks up on the stage dancing with her as she bopped around to the music–including Hudson Valley radio personality Amanda Lay. Miss Nancy made her signature vegan brownies, plus chocolate chip cookies. The cookies went fast!

Pete Pop played his fabulous records all night long. Folks kept screamin’, “What was that?” and the answer is always, Pete Pop and his fabulous records!!

Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus tried to keep up. He started the night with a bunch of hot instrumentals. At one point he played two ‘dish rag’ songs in a row! In order to honor MC5 drummer Dennis ‘Machine Gun’ Thompson, who had recently passed away, a couple MC5 records were played during the night. Probably not enough! About a dozen recent acquisitions were spun along with many old favorites. A few hot doo wop jams really got folks excited. Toward the end of the night, Pete Pop and the Phast One alternated playing their respective discs.
